Although the Liberal government has placed an annual price tag of $60-billion on its commitment to spend two per cent of Canada’s GDP on defence by 2032, unless a boost is on the way, it will still likely fall short when the goalposts funds needed to reach the NATO-sanctioned metric shift.
Canada is unlikely to meet the spending standard first agreed to in 2014 based on its own projections as it is relying on international forecasts for its GDP to guide its defence-spending commitment.
Canadians know they pay too much tax because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wastes too much money.
The majority of Canadians say the government spends too much money, takes too much money from our pay cheques and wastes money on the wrong priorities. That’s according to a new Ipsos poll commissioned by the Montreal Economic Institute.
Canada’s Trade Minister Mary Ng has dismissed U.S. protests over Canada’s record on protecting copyright owners as merely a “political tool,” according to a staff briefing note.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the United States recently placed Canada on its 2024 “watch list” due to concerns over copyright theft.
Facing mounting criticism for failing to meet the NATO defence-spending target of 2 per cent of the GDP, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has announced the planned acquisition of up to 12 under-ice capable submarines to patrol the Northwest Passage and the broader Arctic region.
Wait, sorry – what’s that feeling I’m having? It must be déjà vu.
“Their presence will simply make life intolerable for Canadians – particularly Jewish Canadians.”
More than 3,000 Gazans to date have been approved for visas to enter Canada, says a Department of Immigration briefing note, just released by Blacklocks Reporter.
“Canada is the only country in the world with a dedicated pathway for extended family members of its citizens or permanent residents in Gaza,” said the May 27 briefing note. Cabinet “recognizes the situation in Gaza and we are being as flexible as possible to help as many extended family member of Canadians affected by the conflict,” it said.
If there’s any Western government that isn’t struggling now, I’ve yet to hear of it. Public debt, inflation, housing shortages, lawlessness, uncontrolled immigration, ruinous environmental regulations, and progressive ideological nonsense worry or infuriate most people. Rather than looking for solutions, governing elites condescend, berate their critics, and even resort to speech codes and censorship. The real problem, as elites see it, is not their own ill-conceived ideas but ordinary people’s failure to accept them. The German playwright Bertolt Brecht joked about this phenomenon during the East German uprising against Soviet policies in 1953. Instead of crushing the dissidents, wouldn’t it be easier for the government to dissolve the people and elect a new one?
Border Patrol agents in the Swanton Sector of the U.S.-Canada border have apprehended more than 15,000 migrants so far this fiscal year, more than the previous 13 years combined, according to U.S. Border Patrol reports.
Trudeau is a threat to both Canada and the US.
OTTAWA — Upset over anonymous grumbling by their colleagues in the media, some Liberal MPs are demanding it stop and expressing support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his top cabinet lieutenant, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
“I think people are looking at the polling numbers and they get skittish,” said James Maloney, the Liberal MP for Etobicoke—Lakeshore.
Getting skittish? They’re jumping ship.
The Bank of Canada is projecting that the federal government could fall short of its goal to shrink temporary residents’ share of Canada’s population over the next three years.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in March that Ottawa would attempt to reduce their share of the population from 6.2 per cent to five per cent by 2027.
But on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada predicted that the government would miss that target. The bank’s monetary policy report — released as part of its announcement to reduce interest rates — said that non-permanent residents’ (NPRs) share of the population has actually grown since the goal was set in March.
A new survey finds 63% of Canadians consider themselves overtaxed by the federal government, which is spending too much and unwisely, an opinion that is eight percentage points higher than last year.
The MEI-Ipsos poll also found seven in 10 Canadians are dissatisfied with the accountability and transparency of the Canadian government’s spending practices.
The Trudeau Liberals have broken Canada immigration system and with it, public support for that system.
And now we have the numbers to back that up thanks to a poll by Leger for the Association of Canadian Studies.
According to Leger’s findings, 60% of Canadians now believe we have too many immigrants coming into Canada.
I believe Trudeau and his corporate cronies consider Canada’s immigration system to be working as planned.
No one could be this incompetent, suppressed wages, profitable shortages and ethnic votes galore are the goal.
The destruction of Canadian society by mass immigration is deliberate and working to plan.
OTTAWA—Last week’s tiny cabinet change did nothing to appease those in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s caucus who think a broader shuffle of key government ministers would help save the Liberal party from electoral defeat.
Several MPs who spoke to the Star in recent days said they still want to see a cabinet shuffle before Parliament returns for the fall session. Some shared specific ideas for who should be moved, with four Liberal sources naming Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Some also welcomed the idea of former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney joining Trudeau’s team.
In May, the Association of Day Care Operators of Ontario asked the Auditor General of Canada to audit the Liberal government’s national $10-per-day daycare program. According to the letter, co-signed by the executive director of the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators, chair of the Alberta Association of Childcare Entrepreneurs and executive director of the Ontario Federation of Independent Schools, the Liberals have failed to deliver universal childcare, the failures to date are more than just growing pains, and many families risk losing their childcare access.
Immigrants are increasingly unwelcome. Over half of Americans favour “deporting all immigrants living in the us illegally back to their home country”, up from a third in 2016. Just 10% of Australians favour more immigration, a sharp fall from a few years ago. Sir Keir Starmer, Britain’s new centre-left prime minister, wants Britain to be “less reliant on migration by training more uk workers”. Anthony Albanese, Australia’s slightly longer-serving centre-left prime minister, recently said his country’s migration system “wasn’t working properly” and wants to cut net migration in half. And that is before you get to Donald Trump, who pledges mass deportations if he wins America’s presidential election—an example populist parties across Europe hope to follow.
We do not require masses of immigrants to open up an unsettled land nor are we in the midst of an “Industrial revolution” and there are no more continental railways to be built.
Mass immigration serves only to line the pockets of the greed driven corporate class and earn the good will of ethnic vote blocs for our slimy politicos.
Our elites care nothing for you and your family they are destroying Canada for their own vile ends.
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for Israel to “respond substantively” to the top United Nations court’s recent advisory opinion that Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful and that it should end.
The court’s non-binding opinion released last week was an unprecedented, sweeping condemnation of Israel’s rule over the lands it captured 57 years ago.
Trudeau responded to the court’s advice as part of a joint statement from Canada, Australia and New Zealand today, calling for the reversal of settlements in the West Bank.
